It's been a quiet couple of months since Joe Satriani accused Coldplay of plagiarism. But the band better not get too comfortable. Satriani's legal team, spurned and fuming, have announced plans to tackle them at the Grammys.

According to Satriani's lawyer, Howard King, Coldplay have been dodging process servers, avoiding both the lawsuit's formal correspondence – and the lawsuit itself. Coldplay's fleet-footed, jet-setting ways pose a serious problem for Satriani's case, and King says he will have little choice but to try and pin down the musicians on the red carpet.

"We have warned [Coldplay's] British lawyers that we have hired a fleet of process servers to dog the band everywhere they go this weekend in the hopes of serving them," King told Fox News.

The Grammy Awards take place in Los Angeles on Sunday. Coldplay are nominated in seven categories including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The latter is for Viva La Vida, the song that Satriani is suing them over. The virtuoso guitarist argues that Coldplay borrowed its basic melody from his 2004 instrumental, If I Could Fly.

Coldplay drummer Will Champion recently commented on the allegations, telling Australian website Confidential, "It's so far-fetched and ridiculous, but that's about all we can say at the moment. We're waiting to see what's happening but it's frustrating and annoying ... and totally unfounded."

As Coldplay continue to "wait and see", recording new songs minus Chris Martin, Satriani and King cannot afford to be idle. At this moment, the guitarist and attorney are probably in Los Angeles – marshalling their process servers, mapping the Staples Centre, preparing Coldplay-sized nets at every possible escape route.
